A coalition of independent film and movie theater organizations have co-signed a letter sent to state attorneys general urging them to block a sale of Warner Bros. to Netflix or any other major media company.
The 21-page letter was written by the American Economic Liberties Project (AELP) and co-signed by six other organizations including Art House Convergence, the International Documentary Association and the Future Film Coalition.
“Given recent troubling and unusual circumstances involving federal enforcersand administration officials, we urge you to take immediate public action against this deal,” the letter reads.
The Senate Judiciary Committee is scheduled to hold a hearing on the Netflix-Warner merger, with Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos expected to testify.
Senators from both parties, including Democrat Elizabeth Warren and Republican Mike Lee, have already spoken out against the deal.
